Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day
You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.
I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me
There is no place in society for these sweet children where they were born....
But if you look past the exterior into their innocent souls...
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
